A review by agreatgabsy
Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

5.0

This is Rooney’s best and I’m surprised to be saying that since I love Normal People so much. She says so much in this book about relationships with the people we love and how complicated life is. The prose is absolutely stunning at times and the way important phrases get repeated is so evocative of natural thought, it pulls you in very closely to the characters. The characters are rich and complex and relatable, each in their own way. An incredibly effective and emotional piece of work.
